I buy pc, take 5 minutes to hook everything up. Login into steam and download game. Make coffee and look game rdy. Play game

once a week open software, click update. Pc now updated

Thats it..........and the game looks amazing compared to console. Its like comparing a potato to a loaded baked potato

Yes, but how much does a decent pc cost to a console with similar specs. Also I have used a PC and I’m sorry that’s not my experience. Crash’s, stuttering, game not working well on launch, compared to the PS5. Silent hill 2 remake annoyed me as did marvel tokon recently. I’m definitely not saying a ps5 is better then a PC, but as I get older I just want to kick back and not worry about too many things.

The console costs more, I can guarantee you it costs more if you play any games that require multiplayer or want to use literally any feature that comes free on a PC. My computer is 7 years old and runs new games fine and I have never spent an extra dime to use the internet I already pay for. If I had a console I would have spent $840 more on monthly subscription or $420 more for yearly, my PC cost me $300 more than a console. That doesn’t even include the fact that in that time a new console came out and they stopped making games for the old one. I don’t need to buy a whole new PC everytime an upgrade comes out to play the newest games.

I pretty much never run into issues with games not playing either, overblowing PC issues like crazy

I just bought the pc last week, so this is a very recent experience. So far everything runs perfectly no issues

You are lucky, maybe your choice of games has no problem with your build. I seem to play games that have problems on launch.

And do you think consoles don't fail? That they don't overheat? That they don't have update issues? I've had to send my PS4 in for repairs more often than my PC. Your mistake is applying your PERSONAL experience to all PCs... or else you're lying.

Such issues are incredibly rare. My PS3, Wii, and PS4 are still going strong with just a repaste. My specific Wii and PS3 are both 18 years old and the PS4 is 12

I wish it was that easy lmao. Many times where the game is just absolutely fucked and you spend hours trying to figure out what has caused it. With a console you at least know that it will work every single time for the rest of eternity.

Only time I had issues like that is with VR
